this strange
plan is random at best

this strange
how much more can I take?

this strange
change in atmosphere
and in gravity too
and it's severity

this strange
day is almost over

just started to
get sick of it

and it's strange
but not all that strange
that it's strange
but what's so strange
about that?

yeah it's strange
but why is that strange
that it's strange
but oh, well

this strange
plan is random at best

this strange
how much more can I take?

this strange
sound you said I said

you're not listening or
I'm not saying it right

this strange
war of promises

let's call us a truce
and call it the truth

and it's strange
but not all that strange
that it's strange
but what's so strange
about that?

yeah it's strange
but what isn't strange
yeah it's strange
but oh well

they never feel
they dont even seem real
they never try, so why should i
something is wrong
something invisible is gone
they never mind, so why should i
dont you get hurt
dont you ever need a cure
dont you get tired
and why and why
after awhile
after _____
they wont decide, so why should i
when they hand it over
give it all away
well how can you explain
when they hand it over
noone gets their way
noone gets their (plane?)
dont you get tired
of everyone that you admire
theyll never die, so why should i
something is wrong
something invisible is gone
they never mind, so why should i
when they hand it over
give it all away
well how can you explain
when they hand it over
noone gets away
noone gets the (blame?)

the symptoms of our getting older
the problems that say we don't mind
that most of us never get over
the memories mingled with lies

coincidence gave a confession
that no one's allowed to forget
I don't wanna give the impression
that predestination is set

the distance will increase the danger
where certainty's never enjoyed
regarded as equal yet stranger
embark then embrace then destroy

observing the process will change it
and afterwards even if you
subconsciously rearrange it
it doesn't seem any less true

remnants of thought disappearing
and even transcending concern
disturbing but somehow endearing
conditioned to never unlearn

and no one can tell me to listen
and no one can tell me what's right
'cause nobody has my permission
and no one can see in your mind
in your mind
in your mind
in your mind

when magnifications explore
there slowly emerges a pattern
the details you normally ignore
you notice really what matters

there isn't a time or a place
only an ebb and a flowing
a permanent repeating space
occuring, connecting and growing

and no one can tell me to listen
and no one can tell me what's right
'cause nobody has my permission
and no one can see in your mind
in your mind
in your mind
in your mind

in the hurry of the past
i forgot to make it last
simple choices made too fast
vie or die, i didn't count
i'm alarmed and i can't help from
crashing onto this island we've become
words for fighting, words for fun
they've all melted into one
on the tip of every tongue
like the new name for the sun
i'm alarmed and i can't recover from
crashing onto this island we've become
alright now, don't decide about that now
oh how can you blame the only one
ever stay, ever stay, ever stay around and you would
never say never say all the harms been done
and you were
all so gone oh so long, so long
did you make it all wrong, so wrong
did you wait oh so long, so long
did you take it all wrong, so wrong

Take it on and
Take it over
Take in as much as you can see

I can almost
Think about it, but
I cant arrange for you to see

Didnt know what
Im afraid of
I had to learn it from a dream

Theres a light that
Never goes out
Burning a hole inside of me

Keep your lamps all
Trimmed and Burning
Might be alarmed with what you see

Ive agreed to
Always love you
But never enough to set you free

havent had a half a hand
its half of what i am
havent heard of half the things
ive heard of in the past
havent given half the time
to half the people
half the things ive planned
you dont have to be so cruel cause
all i do is a little less than what i can

happiness will only happen when it can
happiness will only happen when it can

havent had the half of mind to stay
and start to take a stand
havent held on half as long as i had hoped
as i had hoped to plan
happiness, half the shit they said i had
in half didn't have a chance
you dont have to be so cruel cause
all i do is a little less than what i can

happiness will only happen when it can
happiness will only happen when it can
happiness will only happen when it can
happiness will only happen when it can

Do you want him to be outside, in the cool night, where the stars gravitate toward you.
Do you want him to be outside, in the cool night, where the fog wraps itself around you.
Do you want him to be outside, in the sunshine, where the clouds take their places for you.

The wind and snow, and the rain that blows; none of those would matter much
without you.
As long as it's talking with you, talk of the weather will do.

Do you want him to be outside, in the cool night where the stars gravitate
toward you.
Do you want him to be outside, in the sunshine where the song keeps itself
inside you.

And the wind and snow, and the rain that blows; none of those would matter much
without you.

Nobody's hoping for better days;
Noone knows what to do.
You're okay in your secret place,
Noone bothering you.

It might save time if I meet you there,
but I don't care, I'd rather wait for you .

When noone's home and the weather's fine,
I'd rather wait for you

When noone's home and the weather's fine,
I'd rather wait for you.
